The 13 best caves near Temecula area

Very unfriendly and rigid manager ruined family outing. We wanted to sit in the picnic area. It was completely empty. We were going to buy bottles and food but we wanted to eat our own cheese with the wine. They refused, made it uncomfortable and were completely uncompromising. We’ve always come here and done this. Always buy lots of wine. We’ll avoid this winery from now on and recommend to all our friends to do the same.

We came for the members dinner tonight and have been members here since the early 2000s. The venue had to change due to the weather conditions, but Wilson Creek Rose vacation and pivoted in high fashion. It was seamless and pulled off without looking like there was any effort. It’s a great tribute to why we joined winery and thank you again for an amazing night celebrating your 25th anniversary

We attended a wedding in the vineyard, followed by the reception at the winery (did not spend the night). OUTSTANDING! A beautiful venue with friendly and helpful staff. An added shout out to the wait staff team during cocktail hour and reception ... the entire team did a phenomenal job from start to finish.

I was so excited to photograph this company Christmas party. This winery was my dear friend's absolute favorite – he used to spoil me with their chocolate cups and almond champagne. Being able to work here as a photographer, I can confidently say the experience was everything I'd hoped for. It’s easy to see why this place held such a special spot in his heart; it certainly didn't disappoint.

We have frequented at least 3 different times for events and individual tasting. each time, wines were average at best and grounds had commercial vibes. Staff were pushing for purchase and usually inattentive. My family and I prefer visiting other nearby wineries for better taste, price, and service.

We came here on Friday morning around 11am for the winery. Best Value of wine tasting! We 2 tickets (1 ticket for 6 wines). Just pick up your glass, sit down in their patio seat & enjoy!

Excellent experience on the Regenerative Agriculture tractor tour and tasting. This was the first stop on our Grapeline tour and set a high bar for the day. Mike and Brian (& Mason) were great hosts and we will be back and recommend to others.

Atmosphere, staff, and overall experience A+. The wine wasn't anything I would say was exceptional, but good for the price. The food was also good but not excellent. Overall, it was a good experience with no real complaints.

Small Crowd, Great Food and Bottle service Thats a winning combination. The Greatest music venue in Southern California.

I think it's crazy that they have a whole parking lot that ends up mostly empty at the end of the night while there are people with walkers and canes forced to park at the bottom of the hill. I was told it's for the season ticket pass holders but why can't they RSVP or something so other people who cant walk the hill dont have to struggle. We pay hundreds of dollars to attend the concert on top of food. I walked out during intermission to see over 10 parking spots not being used. The dinner package is not worth it because apparently its not the same as VIP who is the season holders. You still have to park at the shittiest dirt parking and get treated poorly. I recommend go to any other winery with parking.

Great venue for music and summer events. Menu is limited during concerts. Wine by the glass or ny the bottle is available along with bottle water and soft drinks. Plan early for parking and general admission seating and bring a jacket as it cools off in the evening once the sun goes down. Enjoy.

This is such a conflicting review. I just want to start by saying that the concert and band covering Santana was exceptional and really set the mood for the evening. The wines and the food were also good. Albeit the prices are exorbitant. 34$ for a cheeseburger? That's just too much. The negative about this experience was the service. It seems to be a recurring theme in a lot of the other reviews I've read as well. First. We were seated, and nobody even acknowledged or came to take our orders until 30 mins sitting down. It took an hour for the food to arrive. Our server only came to check on us one time during our 3 hours at the venue. Our entire party wanted to order additional items, and we had to flag whoever we could find, which in turn they had to find the server for our table. All in all, it is a terrible service experience with outrageous prices from an otherwise wonderful concert Performance. I can't return here in good consciousness with such poor service. Maybe the experience is better when there isn't a concert going on

Came here on a Thursday afternoon, beautiful scenery, and outdoor dining. Our waiter was attentive, and always pouring us our next glass of whine/water as soon as he saw our cups near empty. Food was delicious. Overall a great winery, and excellent service.

I wish the weather was better so we could have enjoyed our tasting outside. Because of the rain - we had to do our tasting seated in the cafe. Ambiance was just ok…but the chocolate wine tasting was absolutely delicious. The goat cheese was very good as well.

Wont rate the wine due to subjective nature, but the meat & cheese board had a surprisingly wide variety of great meats, cheeses, and fruits! Live music on a Saturday afternoon consisted of Diego... a solo violinist who was phenomenally good. Staff are great and helpful. The atmosphere was great as the patio seating was surrounded with grape-laden vines! We opted for the horse-drawn carriage ride from the neighboring vinyard, which really made it a great day ( the weather was 84 at 12pm).

Lorimar Winery is such a nice place to come for brunch! I came here for my friend’s birthday and we really enjoyed it. I recommend making a reservation if possible because it does get busy on the weekends. The food is reasonably priced with lots of options to choose from, which is great. One small piece of feedback: the pancakes could be presented a bit nicer, I did it myself for photo however maybe with a butter whip, fruit, and the syrup on the side. That would really elevate the dish. Overall, a very beautiful spot and worth visiting!

Great outdoor seating area. My wings were cold but they took them back and fixed my order. Staff was great, drinks were on point and band was interactive and fun. Vibe was AMAZING 👍 I’m definitely coming back.

We had a celebration at Lorimar Winery last week and had such a wonderful time! There was live music and a beautiful ambiance with gorgeous views out on the patio for our lunch. The food and wine were all so delicious and the staff was so kind! What truly stood out even more was the care of the Manager. I called ahead to see if they could accommodate one of our guests with a gluten allergy and they purchased gluten free bread just for them! The Manager personally brought out our food and made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Overall, we had such a lovely time and I could not recommend Lorimar Vineyards and Winery enough!

Customer Service was Amazing. It made the experience 5 star. Ginger was an awesome hostess!! She was able to give insight on the wine flavors which was helpful because I was a first timer. She also had very inviting energy. The food did not taste that great and menu choices were very limited for some who is Gluten-Free. The overall ambiance was amazing. We were invited for the music and line dancing which was super. We are planning to come again. I am actually planning a date just to do wine tasting. I really enjoyed the openness of the winery, how up close we were to the vineyards.

Birthday weekend.. great raspberry sparkling wine and great food!!!! Good company

Best Reds in Temecula!! Lou, in the "members" area, is top drawer....always super friendly and helpful. We love this place!! 😀

In town for a wedding here, what a beautiful place too. The wine was good, the dry ones were anyway, and the facility worked out great for an event. The ceremony was down a short path in a little meadow surrounded by tall cypress trees and was beautiful. It was 90+ degrees and looking into the setting sun but it was pretty. Dinner was upstairs on the patio and was good and fun to see the kids dance and have fun. The staff at the winery were very focused on pulling off the event and did a great job.

We had the best time with our two small kiddos at Falkner. We’ve been going to Temecula for years, and had never encountered so many other wineries who limited kids in their tasting rooms. It’s understandable, but Falkner made it really fun for us to hang out and we ended up becoming members thanks to the sweetest lady at the bar named Concetta. The wine was great and the vibe is very laid back and fun. They also open at 10 am (instead of 11) am so it’s a great place to start the day. Highly recommend!

We just had the most amazing wine tasting experience here with Jim! Jim has a slight accent from Denmark that is endearing but he was so attentive, informative and helpful. We've done ALOT of wine tasting but this was a rare experience of having such a knowledgeable person helping us. He knew so much about wines in general but especially Falkner wines and other vineyards in the area. Very impressive! I had no intention of joining their wine club but I did because he was so convincing and we are very glad we did.

My experience has been positive! I appreciate the extra customer service when the membership lounge was opened up for my group to enjoy our lunch before the restaurant closed. Great suggestion to enjoy lunch as to go and enjoy wine in a private setting. Thank you!

This winery exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with friendly service and a stunning setting. The tasting experience was both fun and educational, and each wine was better than the last. The outdoor seating area made it easy to relax and soak up the scenery. We’ll definitely be coming back and can only hope Jim is our host once again! We are now members and super excited!

We planned a wedding at Faulkner for the sweetest couple (Haley & Dylan) over the summer and the Faulkner team was SO easy to work with. They were attentive, patient, fun, kind, and very on top of things! The wedding was a huge success thanks to their staff and willingness to help with anything at all :)

My recent dining experience at The Pinnacle Restaurant was a delightful one overall. The restaurant boasts delicious food, impeccable service, and a stunning panoramic view from our table. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly by the staff and seated promptly. Let's talk about the food – it was absolutely divine! Each dish we ordered including the bread was bursting with flavor and presented beautifully. The chef's expertise truly shone through in every bite. Whether it was the perfectly seasoned salad or the delicate seafood pasta, every dish was a treat for the taste buds. The service was equally impressive. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They ensured that we had everything we needed throughout the meal without being intrusive, which added to the overall pleasant dining experience. However, there was one minor drawback that slightly detracted from an otherwise perfect lunch – the noise level. The wooden floors seemed to amplify the sound from other patrons' conversations or loud laughs, making conversation a bit difficult at times, especially when the restaurant was crowded. While the lively atmosphere added to the ambiance, it would have been nice to have a quieter environment for more intimate conversations. Overall, The Pinnacle Restaurant is definitely worth a visit for its delectable food, excellent service, and breathtaking views. Just be prepared for a bit of a noisy environment if you're sensitive to sound. Nonetheless, I would gladly return for another memorable dining experience.

A family run winery that has been in the same location since the early 1970's. One of the oldest in the Temecula Valley. As a wine club member for 30+ years, I am greeted when I come and treated like family, and I am not a local. They make excellent wine in small lots. And the prices are very reasonable. I am never disappointed. Come taste or grab a glass and sit on the patio and enjoy the view of the grape vines. Update: the wines are still excellent and the prices are low, especially compared with other wineries. They pour generously too. This can be your only stop in the Temecula Valley! Lots of changes but basically the same. They were sold to a very reputable Winery from Paso Robles, Halter Ranch. Hours are reduced, but fortunately no other big changes. They now include Halter Ranch wine in the tastings, and it's very good. The same staff is there to greet you and serve as they have for many years. Three new cats live there now. Long live Hart Winery!!! Well..... Hart is no more! Halter Ranch is getting rid of the Hart name and changing it to Halter Ranch Temecula. This year's harvest was sold. Wine club members were kicked off the Hart club and told they had to come pick up their wine quickly. Very cold and corporate. Lots of changes. I was hopeful (and promised) that things would stay the same but no! I'm hoping that things will revert back to the family atmosphere that has been. I have my doubts.

Hart Winery is one of the oldest wineries in Temecula and the first one on your left when driving down Rancho California Road on your way to wine country. It's a small operation, family owned & operated since 1980. We stopped in for our first visit on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in January 2020 and were delighted to find lots of great wine, helpful staff and friendly fellow tasters. You receive 6 pours for a very reasonable $15 (can purchase the Hart wine glass for $5) and the tasting room is open 7 days/week. We struck up conversations with wine club members who were incredibly knowledgeable about Hart wines and so supportive of the winery in general. Although the tasting room itself is small, there's a nice outdoor area with lots of seating. There's no food here, but you're welcome to bring picnic food to enjoy with your wine while taking in the beautiful views. Hart is clearly focused on producing small runs of high-quality wines. We especially enjoyed the Syrah and Zinfandel. People raved about their flagship Sauvignon Blanc and Rosé, both of which were already sold out. But that's ok, we now have a very good reason to come back in...with some cheese, crackers & fruit next time!

Stopped in for a wine tasting, and was pleasantly surprised! The woman at the wine bar advised us that this was the original winery in Temecula, and though the other wineries may have all the flash and big names, this location absolutely holds its own. Others can suffer from the “corporate” feel, but Hart has just that, heart. From handwritten chalkboard menus, to the wooden picnic tables outside, the place is completely charming. Admittedly these were not my favorite wines in Temecula, but the down home feeling of Hart made it worth the visit!

Beautiful winery with some very good Italian wines on the tasting menu. The 2019 Sangiovese, Barbera and Primitivo exceeded our expectations for Italian wines out of Italy. Give them a try!

They were able to provide good wines that had characteristics of each region they originate from... decent prices and a "wine club" discount as well. Wonderful views of the country and hills.

We went here years ago and always loved their reds but it’s been awhile . We visited this week and were reminded of the pleasant customer service. It’s a small, laid back casual place that is DOG FRIENDLY❤️! We are fans of dog friendly, whether we have ours or not .. we like petting other peoples too ! I wish I could say I loved their wine still but clearly the wine maker is not the same as I was not loving any of the choices I had. But it was only 20.00 a piece with 5 heavy tastes and we have the wine priority pass so it is BOGO which made it even better.. Overall sitting on the small rustic patio, listening to live music with friends and a taste of wine is always nice. Ps, you can bring your own food but they have a 28.00 pretty robust looking charcuterie to purchase as well and the views are lovely !!

Having become a wine member there is no doubt I like their wine. Not much to say about the place it is small, kind of lacking the right vibe. The patio areas need some love, it's just lifeless. Back to the wine...what I have found is later in the year the good stuff is sold out, sure wish I had more money to buy when released. As a member, I've never felt to be treated any differently. I wait and get the look just like everyone else. Not sure why the staff offers such unwelcoming service. Hart I hope you are listening. In the end, I do love the boutique wineries the best. Try this!

This spot has good for live music in the summer time. Inside the Barrel Room there is a juke box. Unfortunately the speakers are hard to hear toward the rear of the Barrel room. The servers were very friendly (shouts out to Jose Estrella)! There is a good selection of wines, and something for everyone!!

I LOVE-LOVE BEL VINO WINERY. WHEN YOU ARRIVE COUNT ON RELAXING AND STAY! Listen visitors and any guest if you are headed to the wine country of Temecula keep driving until you get to the sign (on the right) that reads BEL VINO. Up on that hill you will have the day and FUN that you are looking for. They have an outdoor stage and dance floor for you to just dance yourself away every Sat and Sun. There is entertainment events on Fridays as well check the website. Bel Vino Winery is elevated so that you can look out over the wine country. If it’s a hot day you mostly have a breeze up there. They make sure they have good bands that play a variety of music and it’s a place that you simply enjoy. The wine is good, the staff makes you feel so very welcomed, they have a vendor who cooks great BBQ (get ready for some good BBQ) and REALLY you will want to just kickback and spend your day there! I was just there with 137 guest who I invited for a day in the wine country at Bel Vino. THE WINERY OF CHOICE and let me tell you that’s where we all stayed no question and had a ball. Isn’t it something when all your guest love a particularly winery so much they all said, “we are staying right here”. I know you have choices but if you are reading this it’s a MUST to stop there. You will see why when you arrive! ENJOY!

We had a great experience. Went on a Monday and it was not crowded. Ben was our server and was very patient with our tasting and helped us find a perfect bottle to share. We bought a few to take with us and also joined the wine club. Looking forward to enjoying more of their wines in the future!!

Oh, Bel Vino Winery, where have you been all my life? This place is an absolute gem in the heart of Temecula! My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this vineyard while attending a wedding, and boy, were we in for a delightful surprise! From the moment we stepped foot on the premises, we were greeted with a cool atmosphere that felt like the perfect blend of sophistication and relaxation. The staff at Bel Vino Winery is simply top-notch. They have this magical ability to make you feel like you've been lifelong friends, even if you've just met. Kudos to their friendly and welcoming demeanor! Oh, the wine! It was like a symphony of flavors dancing on our taste buds. We tried several varieties, and each one was better than the last. The guys handling the wine sampling were not only knowledgeable but also hilarious. They had us laughing so hard that we almost spilled our glasses (gasp, the horror!). It's safe to say that they added an extra sparkle to our wine tasting experience. If you're a wine lover like me, you'll be ecstatic to learn about their wine club. Not only is it incredibly affordable, but they also offer free entertainment on weekends. Talk about a win-win situation! Sipping on delicious vino while being serenaded by live music is the stuff dreams are made of. However, a word of caution for parents: Bel Vino Winery has a strict policy regarding kids under 16. They only allow the little ones to grace their presence when there's a wedding going on. So, bring your kids along but only if you're prepared to crash a wedding (wink, wink). It's the kind of place that leaves you with a smile on your face, a warm feeling in your heart, and perhaps a slightly unsteady gait if you indulge in one too many glasses of their amazing wine (not that I'm speaking from personal experience or anything). Whether you're attending a wedding or just looking for a fantastic winery experience, this place is an absolute must-visit. Cheers to Bel Vino and their dedication to crafting divine wines and creating unforgettable memories!

Overall I did not enjoy their wines, maybe you will? The woman helping us was friendly and nice, it was reasonably busy. By the end she encouraged us to do a double tasting and sit up top for a beautiful view. Only problem was limited shade and we ended by a speaker blaring early 2000s hits. I also didn’t think the double was really two tasting, oh well!

Great wines and fantastic service! Ben is amazing. He helped us find the perfect bottle and did a great job explaining all the wines and flavors! Highly recommend

The tasting room server was nice and knowledgeable. Nice grounds. A little disappointed in the chicken plate at the BBQ ... 2 legs!

I had a wonderful experience at Callaway Winery! Although my aunt and I frequently dine at the restaurant, this was our first time visiting the tasting room—and it definitely won’t be our last. Amanda was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each wine in detail and helping us discover a few new favorites. Her warm and attentive service made our visit truly memorable. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up joining the wine club! We're already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend

We have photographed several weddings here over the years and every one has been amazing! From a photographers viewpoint, this venue is stunning. No matter the time of day, there is always a beautiful spot for photos. The getting ready suites for the bride as well as the groom are both well lit and have enough space for everyone to get ready without feeling too cramped. Photos during golden hour at Callaway are a must, the sun setting over the hills is always beautiful and worth making time for. e cant wait to be back! IG @_themcfarlands_

Callaway Vineyard is proof that grapes live a better life than most of us. They get pampered in perfect rows, soaked in sunshine, and then transformed into wine that makes you forget about your boss, your bills, and the fact that you once thought boxed wine was fancy. The tasting room is gorgeous like, “I suddenly feel underdressed in my best Target outfit” gorgeous. Every sip had me convinced I was developing a sophisticated palate, though really I was just nodding like, “Yes, I totally taste the notes of… uh… fruit.” And the views? Unreal. You could be sipping straight grape juice and still feel like royalty with those rolling vineyards around you. So if you’re looking for a vineyard that’ll make you feel classy while you secretly try to figure out how many glasses it takes before you start talking to the vines, then Callaway is your spot.

We express our sincere appreciation to Tanya, Mariah, and the entire Callaway team for the exceptional service provided. Our wedding reception was exquisite, surpassing all expectations. The venue's stunning location and breathtaking views created a truly memorable ambiance. The cocktail hour outside the barrel room and the reception within the barrel room were flawlessly executed. We were particularly impressed by the event's efficiency and organization. The availability of bride and groom suites was a highly valued amenity. The food was delicious, the wine was excellent, and the service was consistently positive and professional. The seamless execution allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without any concerns. We only regret the evening's conclusion. We also commend DJ Armando Quintero, aka QthemusicDJ, for his exceptional MC skills and music selection, which significantly contributed to the positive atmosphere. Thank you, Callaway, for creating an unforgettable experience.

New to the wine club and went to pick up my wine. Took my non wine drinking husband with me. Erin was absolutely awesome! When she found out he was a non wine drinker her response was “challenge accepted” She was very helpful, knew her stuff and most importantly made it so fun! In the end we found some wines that my husband truly liked! Winning! Huge thank you to Erin for being awesome! (and getting a so called non wine drinker to sit and enjoy wine with his wife!)

We had our dream wedding at Callaway Vineyard & Winery on April 12, and we cannot say enough good things about the entire experience! From the very beginning, we worked with Jenn, who helped us get everything started, and then Mariah, who guided us through the rest of the planning. Both were incredibly responsive, organized, and thoughtful, and the whole team was so helpful and accommodating every step of the way. A huge shoutout to our two fantastic bartenders, especially Laura—our guests could not stop raving about how wonderful and sweet she was! The service across the board was impeccable. The venue itself is absolutely picturesque. We toured over 10 venues in the Temecula area, and Callaway truly stood out for its beauty, flexibility, and the sense of ease we felt working with their team. We reached out to them in a bit of a pinch after running into issues with our previous venue in San Diego, and with just six months left to plan, Callaway welcomed us and made everything happen seamlessly. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors with stunning views, and then moved inside to the breathtaking barrel room for our reception. Beyond the full wine and bar options, there were so many thoughtful touches and special add-ons we were able to include. One huge perk: tables, chairs, and other essentials were included with the venue fee, saving us time and stress with outside rentals. It was also incredibly convenient to have two getting-ready rooms onsite for us and our wedding parties, which made the day run so smoothly. As an LGBTQ+ couple, we also want to highlight how much we appreciated the Callaway team going above and beyond to make us feel included and ensuring our guests felt welcomed and celebrated. It’s a magical venue with an incredible team, and we feel so lucky that we were able to celebrate our wedding here. If you're considering Callaway, do not hesitate!

Callaway Vineyard & Winery was hands-down the highlight of my wine tour in Temecula! The views were absolutely stunning—rolling vineyards, gorgeous skies, and a peaceful atmosphere that made the whole experience feel like a dream. The wine was exceptional—easily the best I had on the tour. Each pour was rich, flavorful, and thoughtfully selected. I was served by Amanda C. and a few other wonderful team members who made my visit truly special. They were warm, knowledgeable, and attentive, creating a welcoming and elevated experience from start to finish. I felt genuinely cared for as a guest, and it was clear that the staff not only loved what they do but also respected and supported one another. That kind of positive energy made the tasting even more enjoyable. I will absolutely return to Callaway the next time I’m in Temecula. If you're looking for great wine, breathtaking views, and a team that treats you like family, this is the place to be!

Our wedding at this venue was truly a dream come true! The mountain views were absolutely breathtaking and created the most romantic, picture-perfect backdrop for our ceremony and celebration. The venue itself is gorgeous, spacious, peaceful, and beautifully maintained but what truly brought everything together was Jessica, our coordinator. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was in place. From managing the timeline to keeping everything running smoothly, she made our day feel effortless and stress-free. We’re so grateful for such a perfect day!

This review is long overdue, much needed and well deserved. My husband and I came in last month for wine tasting and was completely impressed with Mason. I decided to put my pallet in his hands, because I was having no luck at previous wineries. Mason treated us like we were the only person in the room, while still helping others. He memorized each wine that we tasted and what we did and did not like about it, so he knew what to serve us next. He stayed focused and took his time. In the end, we bought a couple bottles of wine and joined the wine Club. We came back recently with our two kids and Mason helped us again. Our kids were impressed by him as well. My son was the tough one! Mason was able to find a couple wines that he loved and of course, we all bought bottles of wine to take home. Thank you for having such an awesome, hardworking employee! He is the reason we are customers. We are looking forward to coming back again soon.

Amazing winery! My parents live nearby & we went spontaneously for a tasting. The grounds are stunning & it was very chill. Brian & Mason helped us choose our wines - spectacular service from both of them & an overall pleasant experience. We will definitely be coming back!

We stopped in here for a wine tasting while driving from LA to San Diego. It was absolutely amazing! The grounds are beautiful. The wine tasting was awesome- we got traded off between bartenders as they left for breaks. Both were awesome and helped us picked wines based on our tastes and preferences, not just random ones. The wines were all great and we got to try a bunch of new types.

Great winery and great wine, we tried the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon and it was excellent! We had an opportunity to meet Master Cellar Mr Martin and he and the winery Host made us feel special and made our visit unforgettable!

Gorgeous Venue, But Severely Mismanaged Mount Palomar Winery may look beautiful, but the experience was anything but. I would strongly advise against booking this venue unless you're prepared to run your own wedding. From the start, communication was disorganized and unreliable. The coordinator repeatedly failed to answer basic questions, sent us information meant for another couple, and caused unnecessary stress in the weeks leading up to the event. This is unacceptable for any professional wedding venue. At the rehearsal, our own family members had to step in and coordinate due to the complete lack of direction. On the wedding day, the assigned coordinator was frequently missing, could not follow a simple timeline, and left multiple vendors frustrated with her unresponsiveness. There was a clear lack of professionalism, accountability, and care for what is supposed to be one of the most important days of a couple’s life. Beautiful views do not make up for poor execution. We expected better, and others should too.

10/10 service from Mannix, always a pleasure to see that he's working. There's great service and then there are great servers. Always so attentive and friendly. Bad service is something that will turn me away from a business, so I'll be going here as long as the good vibes keep up!

Nice winery and great value tasting with live music in the general seating area. Beautiful views. At the Bistro, I surely recommend the flat iron steak sandwich which was prepared perfect. Comes with Side salad and delicious dressing

Great place to hang around for a weekend getaway. Nice backyard for wine tasting and only done side is need to walk back and forth TK get your own wine selection after one and another. Most wine tasting will bring all selections to your table. Overall great place to go for weekend getaway ✌️

Staff were very knowledgeable of the wine selection. Facility was overall clean, food was good. Outside dining with a beautiful view.

I love it. The wine taste was awesome. I loved it. Not so much about the food but the wine is cool.

My wife and I came into your winery for the first time on September 3 a little bit before noon. A very nice young lady named Julia or Julie helped us out on your presentation of wines. Very knowledgeable and helpful. My wife and I tried out your different wines and we had lunch. We enjoyed both our lunch selections and wine selections. Due to her knowledgeable suggestions and being a great representative of your establishment, we are now part of your membership family. We were not planning on any memberships at this present time, but because of your wonderful wines and especially because of Julia, we will be coming back often. Thank you so much.

Been a Black label member for a few years. We always seem to end up comparing other wineries to Monte De Oro. We have come across others that may have a few that are close , or better. But the distinction is in the amount of tastings per quarter included in the Black label membership. We live in illinois. Mary has been such a help thru the last few years. Becca and the others have also been great. If you are not stopping in please, for selfish reasons DON'T. But in all reality you are missing out on one of the best places on the valley. A best kept secret is hard to keep.

Great wine, great food, and a super friendly ambiance! I came with a couple of friends to grab a quick bite and some wine. I had the grille chicken gyro and house fries and we shared some hummus. Man, the food was amazing. In terms of the wines, we had the Cabernet Frac (great strong red) and Unique Elements (chilled and sweeter). The best late Saturday lunch ever! The views from the winery are to die for too. This is the place to bring a date or to chill with friends. Won't be disappointed.

The food was excellent. The Brie in sourdough bread was served hot and it had an amazing taste. The service was excellent . Salad was fresh and tasty. Sangria had too much ice, but, the taste was good . Excellent location and plenty of parking

I stopped into Maurice Car'rie recently with a group of girlfriends for lunch after wine tasting at nearby Halter Ranch (where they don't have food). They're best known (for good reason) for their famous garlic sourdough bread baked with Brie cheese...and of course, someone in our group ordered this to share with all! I had the pesto chicken pizza which was also amazing. The casual menu has something for everyone and the food is all great. Our group shared several bottles - Syrah, Rosé Grenache and one of the sparklings. It was a beautiful afternoon and we took over a big table on the covered outdoor side porch. The staff are all so friendly and helpful; service is excellent! We were fortunate enough to meet winemaker James through his adorable dog Milo who was running around in the grassy area. While talking to James, he graciously offered our group a very special port education and tasting from the barrel! What an absolute treat...and testament to the wonderful people who work at Maurice Car'rie!

It’s my daughters bday month celebration and I wanted to bring them here to enjoy a nice ambience and relaxing time. Everyone was very kind and attentive. The live band was so cool and played some awesome music! 10/10. For lunch we had tomato bisque bowl 10/10, clam chowder bowl 10/10, chicken panini pesto 6/10, Tuscan pasta 9/10. Overall it was a great experience and I definitely recommend everyone one to come at least once but I think after one time you will make this a frequent place. We also had boozy pop mango 10/10 and mangoneada 10/10. See you next time! Awesome place to visit for sure!

Me and my mother in law visited this Winery last Friday! It was my first time wine tasting and Alyssa was the best host. She took her time and answered all my questions with ease! I will definitely spread the word and be back! Thanks Alyssaaaaaa!!!!! ❤️

My husband and children took me here for a Mother’s Day lunch and it is absolutely gorgeous. The service was wonderful and laid back. The menu is simple and easy to order from. The food was great! Definitely going again!

If I could put this place at zero stars I would. I stopped here as part of a bachelorette party wine tour. I am a pregnant woman. After personally getting water for our entire table, I asked the bar if they had any n/a drinks, and all they had was soda—fine, but I didn’t want soda. Our party had paid for the amount of people in the party for transportation purchases, and the woman we were dealing with refused to give me a tasting glass and card, even though we had paid for it. I ended up convincing her to provide what we had paid for. I also wanted to taste the wines, so I took a small sip of each of the 5 glasses provided, likely less than ¼ of a wine glass total, which is completely safe in pregnancy. Then I would give the rest of my tasting glasses to women in the bridal party. I was verbally accosted by two tables while I was there. I was harshly judged. I overheard them talking about me and my body multiple times. Then, when I turned to say hello and explain that I was having tiny sips of each, I was told I was killing myself and my unborn baby. I had multiple complete strangers yelling in my face. I even had one man so bold as to RUDELY ask if I was having twins, presumably to make fun of the size of my stomach. No staff stepped in. No staff apologized to me. It was the worst service experience I have ever encountered. I would not recommend anyone visit this establishment.

This vineyard is a delightful, down-to-earth winery with great ambiance. It’s perfect for spending quality time with family or friends. You must try their famous brie cheese bread. Although it's a disappointment that they only offer pizza on weekends, be sure to indulge in their boozy pops!

I had my baby shower at Briar Rose and it was the most amazing day! Cecily was amazing in the planning process and completely nailed my “Baby in Bloom” vision. My guests said it was the most beautiful baby shower they have attended! I wouldn’t have changed a thing and I am so happy we decided to hold it there. I will now be planning my birthday party there again when I can actually enjoy wine 😊

We had such a great time at Briar Rose Winery. The ambiance feels cozy and inviting, the kind of place where you can actually relax and enjoy your wine. Our server, Melissa, was excellent friendly, attentive, and clearly knowledgeable about the wines. She made great recommendations that really fit our taste. The wine itself was outstanding smooth, balanced, and full of flavor. Every glass we tried was tasty, and it made the experience even better paired with the atmosphere and service. Briar Rose is definitely a spot we’d come back to and recommend to friends.

Dorian and Les are amazing hosts. The staff is phenomenal. The entire team will go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable.

My daughter’s Bridal Shower in June 29th was perfection. Cecily did an amazing job from the time I contacted her, until the end of the Shower. Cecily really listened to the vision we had and made it come alive. Her communication and response to questions was progressional and refreshing. Her pricing is fair and the food is good. The Decorations she put together was stunning. We can tell she puts her heart into all she did for us. Briar Rose Winery was a magical location, and the wine is delicious. All guests Social Media had so many people commenting off their posts. Everyone was so nice and we will never forget this day. Thank you Cecily. Julie & Samantha!

Amazing! Cannot wait to come back with the rest of our family. The wine was absolutely amazing, Lincoln and his grandmother were absolutely amazing.

If you are a Disney and a wine fan, you must come here! The outside of this winery looks like the Snow White and the seven dwarfs house! The original owner was a Disney Imagineer who did work at Disney. It is no longer owned by him but still looks so cute! It was hot the day we went, and it was the first Thursday that they were ever open on a Thursday, so he wasn’t ready to sit us inside, but all the tables outside were ready to roll, but it was 103° so we asked to please sit inside, and Lincoln was so accommodating and got it all set up for us so that we could sit in inside in the AC! Thank God! He was also really good at telling us all about the wines and the winery and was always ready for our next pour as three out of four of us did the wine sampling. We were excited to try the charcuterie, but he said delivery comes on Fridays and he did not have any, which is not his fault, but he’ let me grab some snacks from my car to bring in. It was just a little Chex mix I bought somewhere else, but I needed something with the food. This is such a fun place to go to and we basically had the place to ourselves! Next time I’m in Temecula I definitely wanna go back. I did the red wine sampling and my favorite was the 2017 Zinfandel.

Briar Rose winery was magic 🌟 For Labor Day weekend, I wanted to get away somewhere I hadn’t been before, but was in a short driving distance. I did some googling and found Snow White’s cottage. I am a HUGE original Disney fan (things from Walt’s time), so I knew I had to visit. When we arrived, even the parking lot had a view. You had a gorgeous view of all the vineyards below you, and Briar Rose itself was covered from the outside with this whimsical type of bush. You enter the bush and all of a sudden, you find yourself in Snow White’s garden, surrounded by her cute squirrel friends, wishing well, and her seven dwarves. The original quaint cottage was built in the 1970’s by Disney imagineer Beldon Fields. While working for Disney, Beldon collected bits and pieces of Disney artifacts which made their way into the cottage. Some tiles from Mr. Toads, a rock from Indiana Jones, and a lantern from Haunted Mansion make the grounds so much more special. Beauty aside, the wine tasting is delicious. We started out with a wonderful cracker and homemade cheese kit while we waited on our wine. We got one red wine tasting, and one white wine tasting before ordering a couple extra glasses to enjoy the scenery a bit longer. I cannot recommend Briar Rose enough! Delicious wine, knowledgeable staff, and a view to die for. I’ll be coming back to Temecula just to enjoy the winery. 🍷 Want more reviews? Find me on Instagram @Dining_With_Davi

One of our favorite wineries in the Temecula valley. Terrific reds, and love the dry Reisling. Great staff! My one complaint is their restaurant never seems to be open when we visit.

Excelent wine, service ! Doug took care of us! Came here for the first time and join as a member. Their wine is as good as french/California wine 👍🏼👍🏼

Went there Sunday for wine tasting. Don’t need reservations so really easy choice if you are suddenly in the mood to taste. Great grounds, wonderful ambience. Need a mask to go inside and plenty of seating outside to really enjoy the weather. Very dog friendly Tasting costs $20 for six pours. The white wines were all great (dry Riesling was particularly good). We enjoyed most of the reds as well. Stepped into Carols to see if they had a cheese plate or something easy to take out with the wines and they didn’t, but that wasn’t a big deal. Generally a great experience and highly recommend.

Another outstanding tasting at Baily Vineyards! Aged to perfection, the best experience in Temecula. Thanks Kelley for the excellent, personalized service you presented. Mike and Lynda (with a Y) from Prescott AZ.

This was my favorite winery during our weekend visit. The man pouring our wine was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable which I guess one would be when you've been there for 30 yrs! Wine was reasonably priced and we walked out with two bottles and loved the fact that we got to keep the glasses!

Nice grounds. Good deal on tastings. 6 for $20. Pretty small pours though. Nice area for the dogs. Wines tend to be on the dry side but the Serenity port was delicious.

Dog-friendly and COVID-safe! We stopped by with our dog to enjoy a tasting on a Saturday. No reservation is needed for the tasting room, but arrive before 4PM. As of Feb 20, 2021 tastings are $20 for six 6-oz pours. Wine is also available by the bottle/glass. You will need a mask to enter the tasting room itself to select your wine(s), and then will be asked to sit outside to drink. Well-behaved, on-leash dogs are allowed to accompany you. There's a nice little grassy area with tables to hang out in. The staff - especially Cindy - were very friendly and helpful. A great place to spend the afternoon sipping wine with your pup!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We had a Groupon for a couples wine tasting, and it ended up being an amazing value. Our bartenders were super friendly, and the live music kept us entertained the whole time. The small appetizers were delicious, and we felt so welcomed, we left completely satisfied. We even took home a bottle of wine and can’t wait to relive the experience!

My wife and I love staying at the Inn at Churon Winery! The rooms are spacious and comfortable with a French cottage feel. Some king rooms have a whirlpool tub, gas fireplace and balcony to take in the lovely views of the Temecula Valley. Be sure to request one of those rooms. Weekend mornings, hot air balloons can be seen taking flight. The tasting room is quaint with a European village vibe. There was entertainment Friday night and bingo on Saturday while we were there. You can order food while tasting and grab a table which is a nice option. Our wine server Valerie was attentive and fun. The breakfast is amazing and served in the dining room or patio with delicious options such as French Toast, Eggs Benedict, Croissant sandwich or Omelette. Coffee, tea and water were also abundant. Our server Christopher was friendly, and attentive. The property grounds has several levels with tables, chairs and a couch here and there to take in the outdoors while enjoying a glass of wine and a snack. The GM Robert was always helpful and he made sure we received our complimentary bottle of wine and daily drink and breakfast tickets. There are no elevators or bell hops so if you need help with luggage going upstairs you can ask the front desk.

I took my wife to Churon Winery and we really had a good time sampling the different wines and snacks. Cuvee sparkling wine is a must try. We walked the grounds and enjoyed our visit. I would recommend Churon Winery if you like or love wine.

This has become my favorite winery in Temecula because of the atmosphere and one of my favorite wines. Everyone here is so friendly and knowledgeable. It's such a relaxed atmosphere here. The wines are amazing. Try the Sweet Ruby or one of their many flights. The special mix using white mango is delicious! The outside grounds and vineyards are so pretty as are their hotel rooms! We come to Churon first, and last every trip! Come see Dani and Valerie in the tasting room. They are the best!

Gorgeous, quiet and romantic! This is perfect for a quick getaway or an event location. It's close to many local wineries. The views are amazing during the day and at night the lights are beautiful. They offer breakfast and wine tasting. We will definitely be back!

We booked Churon Winery and Inn for our daughter's wedding celebration/renewal of vows. To say that Meilee was helpful is an understatement! She is a superstar! There were many times when we asked to make last minute changes to our site plan and she accommodated us with pleasure and kindness. The day of our event was spectacular! All the details were flawless! This venue goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to make guests feel welcomed and special. The gazebo ceremony was the talk of our guests. They all said they have never seen such a beautiful view. To be able to then walk back up to our reception on the lovely patio and continue to take in all in was a dream! The staff who served us were amazing. They doted on our every need with enthusiasm. One of the incredible perks of booking with Churon was the food. Everything was cooked to perfection and was out-of-this-world delicious! I couldn't believe it for the price! We were lucky enough to stay at this inn twice in the past three weeks. The accommodations were comfortable and elegant. The views from our balcony took my breath away! Then there was the breakfast. Unbelievably good! Not a regular free continental one like in cheap hotels, but a REAL breakfast! My family owes Churon and especially Meilee much gratitude for making our event something we will never forget! Thank you!!!

Churon was simply the best. The venue was beautiful. But the best was Meilee. She was the venues event coordinator and she made the whole experience the best. She had a “can do” attitude. She found ways to make our experience the best. We pulled off our wedding in under 120 days. But no one would have ever known. The food was great. The rooms at the Inn are huge. I highly recommend.
